Killing Your Clicks

A URL shortener takes long, complex web addresses and converts them into short, clean links. Instead of sharing something like "amazon.com/dp/B09V3KXJPB?ref=sr_1_1&keywords=headphones...", you can share "linktw.in/headphones". Short URLs are easier to share, look more professional, and can be tracked to see how many people click them.

Yes! You can shorten unlimited URLs for free. Our free plan includes click analytics, custom aliases, QR codes, and deep linking. Premium plans add features like custom domains, advanced analytics, team collaboration, and higher click limits for high-traffic links.

Unlike basic URL shorteners like Bit.ly or TinyURL, LinkTwin short links include deep linking technology. This means your shortened URLs automatically open mobile apps instead of clunky browsers. When someone clicks your Amazon link, it opens in the Amazon app where they're logged in with payment ready. This leads to significantly higher engagement and conversion rates.

By default, LinkTwin short URLs never expire. They work forever. However, you can optionally set expiration dates or click limits if you want links to automatically deactivate. This is perfect for limited-time promotions, flash sales, or exclusive content.

Absolutely! Instead of random characters, you can create memorable aliases like linktw.in/summer-sale or linktw.in/podcast. Premium users can also use their own custom domain, so links look like go.yourbrand.com/promo.

Every shortened URL includes full analytics: total clicks, unique visitors, geographic locations, device types (iOS, Android, Desktop), browsers, referral sources, and trends over time. You can see exactly who's clicking your links and when. Data is exportable and accessible via API.

Yes. LinkTwin uses enterprise-grade security with HTTPS encryption on all links. We scan for malicious content and have strict terms against spam or harmful links. Your shortened URLs are as secure as any major website.

Yes! You can edit the destination URL of any short link at any time. If you need to update where a link points, you don't have to create a new one. You can also delete links or disable them temporarily without permanently removing the analytics data.
